    3.5 As a previous crime film, it can be said that the narrative and rhythm are at the forefront of the times. It is a pity that in order to shape the appearance of all beings in a short period of time, the characters in each line are depicted with brushes, which are out of focus. Monroe is really good-looking, but the performance is still in the stage of immature...

    Although it is a crime theme, the main characters are very fleshy and lovable, and the ending is sad. In fact, the people who implemented the plan are very professional, but the wrong person was hired, and the plan was leaked...

    The ending is great as usual, but now watching this kind of movie somehow I feel like...why should I care so much! Isn't that just robbery? (I may have...

    When the catching net is cast down, don't take chances. 1. Commissioner and radio: You have given this power, and you will bear the price of corruption and abuse of power, and there will always be such enforcers. 2. The Doctor and the Jukebox: When smart people do stupid things, even stupid people dislike him. 3. Horses and meadows: The Seven Samurai look like graves and fields. A few shots at the end enrich the...

    The film is John Huston's classic noir masterpiece, adapted from William Burnett's novel of the same name. Compared with "The Eagle of Malta", the originator of the noir film directed by him, this film undoubtedly has a more compact plot arrangement.

    It's a bit like a Reservoir Dog, but I really don't see where Menglu is now. Is that little mistress Monroe? ! My god, it's so nonsense. . . Silly and...

    The story is clear, the characters are sharp, the lines are sharp, and the themes aren't too outdated. It's still John Huston's usual practice, with story before style. Better than The Falcon of Malta. Sterling Hayden's sideline is too vulgar and the performance is not good, although the ending scene is beautiful; one star...

    The entire theft plan is not rigorous, and accidents occur frequently in the middle. The director did not focus on the process of stealing jewelry, but used unfancy shots to depict the seemingly accidental but inevitable fate of these thieves. The person who steals the jewelry will end up either being caught and killed or fleeing and committing suicide, but this is not an invincible advertised, in fact, it is more about the fate brought by the background and character of each character. In the...
